Where they come from
We do not make them ourselves
Viworo is a family business and a retailer, not a manufacturer. Our extracts come from a specialised laboratory in Italy. We select — we do not prepare.
Mostly 1:1
Most of our extracts are 1:1 fluid extracts with 30 % vol. alcohol. A few plants — ginseng, St John's wort, chaste tree, damiana, rosehip — are prepared by the T.M. method and sit between 55 and 65 %, propolis at 70 %. Ratio and alcohol content are stated on each product.
Amber glass with a dropper
Light is the biggest enemy of a plant extract. Hence the brown glass and the dropper that sits firmly in the cap.
In Lana since 1989
A South Tyrolean family business, the current generation since 2015. We answer questions personally.
